For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO’s, and a lot of entertainment media.
Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

What the hell
What makes you think I didn’t already download everything I want?
Nothing, I never said any such thing. In your case your answer to my question would be “I would not have to wish, because I already downloaded everything I want”. This makes you wise.
That’s a much classier way of calling someone a digital hoarder :)
Honestly, I think I’m mostly set already (as I often go backpacking and there’s no internet there). I have offline maps for the country I’m in and neighboring regions downloaded in OsmAnd and mapy.cz (two sources just in case), Wikipedia in Kiwix, and my custom NixOS setup as a bootable ISO on a flashdrive. I’ll probably miss being able to watch science/maths edutainment on YouTube, but it’s not something I’d download.
Today I learned I’m unintentionally preparing for the Internet apocalypse.
I’m adding https://www.survivorlibrary.com/ to the list
A distilled DeepSeek R1 model.
Wikipedia would be the most valuable thing if I had to pick one, I guess.
An maybe the “your jimmies are eternal video” in case I need to unrustle my jimmie ever again.
Extra RAM.
Arch wiki with arch man docs.
Can’t believe I’m the first to say this, but… porn.
All the images I have bookmarked on multiple devices from e621, any game I’ve been even possibly hesitating on pirating, all my Steam games (I don’t trust Inwouldnhe able to get in and install them if I could even get into my account to begin with at that point), and downloading every single song I have saved on yt and Newpipe because I’d never see them again.
A whole slew of things.
Honestly I’d probably just give up on technology entirely. Become a hermit carpenter or something
archive.org, which contains wikipedia too. Checkmate!
The amount of data required for that would be immense. From what I’ve been able to find it’s over 200 petabytes.
